Week 15

Throughout the reading of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” written by Anne Sexton there were a lot of small and large things I picked up on while reading the psychological oriented story. A major theme that stood out to me throughout the story was jealousy and envy. The stepmother turned on Snow White as soon as the mirror deemed her a better fit, the Queen had an internal struggle that she couldn’t come to terms with as her beauty was being eaten up by age. Another specific observation I noticed in the story was the little bit of foreshadowing when it came to introducing the Seven Dwarfs. It was seven everything from the mountains, week, all the way down to the beds and number of forks in the home.  Jealousy and ev=envy really could take over a person as the Queen was plotting on Snow White’s demise.
